Makedonitissa Tomb

The Makedonitissa Tomb (Greek: Τύμβος της Μακεδονίτισσας) is a military cemetery and war memorial west of Nicosia, at Engomi in the area of Makedonitissa [el].

This is the location where one Greek Nord Noratlas was shot down by friendly fire on 22 July 1974, during Operation "Niki".

"Niki" was a military operation of the Greek Armed Forces to airlift a battalion of Greek commandos to Cyprus in order to reinforce the Cypriot National Guard against Turkish invasion forces.
